EDITORS’ NOTES

An up-and-coming singer from Atlanta, Jacquees has been building a buzz by dropping quality tracks online, and here he flaunts a co-sign from multiplatinum superstar Chris Brown. The 19-year-old has dropped 19 as his debut EP, proving that he could very well be the next big thing in a somewhat stagnant R&B landscape. Backed by radio-ready production from Drumma Boy, T Mack the Hitmaker, and K Major, Jacquees croons about love and lust, serious romance and casual hookups alike. Guests include Lloyd ("Feel It"), Rich Homie Quan ("Soldier"), Trinidad Jame$ ("Bet I"), and Chris Brown ("Won't Turn It Down"), though he shines perfectly well on his own, especially during the opener "Future Baby Mama" and "Come Thru." Though he's not exactly reinventing the wheel, Jacquees has more than enough skills (and connections) to break through and become a major success.

About Jacquees

A singer, songwriter, and rapper who crossed over from R&B to hip-hop, Rodriquez Jacquees Broadnax is known simply as Jacquees when he steps out from behind the scenes. Born and raised in Decatur, Georgia, Jacquees first fell for the music of the Jacksons and the Temptations, not straight from their records but from the television biopics that were popular in the early '90s. Talent shows led to agents, which led to work behind the scenes in music. In 2010 he launched his solo career with the album I Am Jacquees, featuring the single "Krazy" with special guest T.I. Chris Brown, Lloyd, and others landed on his 2014 effort, 19, a self-released EP that led to a recording contract with Cash Money. Making the most of his new contract, Jacquees unleashed a bevy of new singles in 2015 followed by the Mood mixtape in January 2016. A collaboration with fellow Cash Money labelmate Birdman yielded the Lost at Sea mixtape later that year. January 2017 brought another collaboration, this time with Detroit's DeJ Loaf on the Fuck a Friendzone mixtape. A second DeJ Loaf collaboration, "At the Club," arrived later that year. ~ David Jeffries
